A series of walking maps have been created to show how easy it is to fit exercise into daily life. They provide short, easy routes around Coventry and cover the areas of Tile Hill and Canley, Willenhall, Foleshill and the city centre.
The walking maps are available for download and are available to view at the library.
Our body dislikes staying still for long. The longer you’re still the more tension that accumulates from being in one position. Try some desk based posture, exercises and stretches.
Desk based band exercises, stretches and posture video will be available soon. If you’re interested please contact Sue Douglad: Email: sue.douglas@coventry.gov.uk or tel: 024 7678 5716.
